The beginning

Well let me start with. Hello! I am a 29 year old lesbian and my wife is a 26 yr old. We have been together for 6 years in January. We met on myspace while I was living in Phoenix Arizona and while she was living in Westland Michigan. Little to say she moved to Phoenix and we lived there for 4 years before decieding to move out of state. While in Arizona about 2 years ago we decieded to start trying for a baby using a very dear friend of ours. We tried for a year with no success. I was for sure that something was wrong with me every time aunt flow would show her ugly face. We ended up stopping because of my emotional state at the time. We left Arizona last March on a journey to Tn for a fresh start.
   We both started college for nursing at the local university. I am currently in my sophmore year of college working toward my Bachelors in Nursing. My wife is in her freshman year working for the same degree. Anyway, we started talking again about trying againa and made a decision in August of this year to start looking for a donor. We place a serious ad on Craigslist explaing in great detail what we were looking for and what we expected. WE screened our donors and finally found one that was worth looking into further. WE met him for lunch and discussed it. We had him STD screened and we were geared up to start in September. We started in September with our donor and I was reading every little thing as a sign of pregnancy. ON top of that I ended up being 3 days late then AUnt flow showed her face. I cried and cried but we wiped it off and said we can do it again next month. October time comes and I was sure that we missed our window of oppurtunity because I did not have a temp drop or any signs of ovulation.
   Novemeber 14th comes and I didn't think anything of being 2 days late again. I went to bed one night and had a dream of a positive test. SO the next afternoon I was explaining my dream to my dear Tara and I decieded to just take a preg test. Mid afternoon I wasn't expecting much... So here we are in the bathroom waiting for the cheap dollar store test line to show. Then Tara picks the test up and says " Hmmm" and asked what and she said nothing. So we wait the 3 minutes and I must add it was the longest 3 minutes of my life. I go in to check it and there it is 2 very beautifull lines.
   Of course Tara did not believe it so we went out and bought first response and apparently women in the states buy pregnancy tests by the bundle because we could not just buy one. WE had to get 3. We come home and I pee again and boom 2 lines immediatly!!  We did a clear blue digital and there it was pregnant. I cried and cried and so did my wife.
    WE are currently 10 weeks and 2 days pregant. WE had our first appointment on the 28th of NOvember and I was 8 weeks and 3 days. THe baby was perfect!!! A bobble head but perfect!! My profle picture is the ultrasound pic we had done that day!!!  Our next appointment is Jan 6th to hear the heartbeat and I cannot wait!! WE are due July 23rd!!!
    We are so excited to become parents and we cannot wait to start buying but, we have made a vow not to purchase anything for the baby untill after the 13 th week to be safe!! The only down fall is my dear wife is terrified to have sex because she doesn't want to cause any harm or bleeding so we are waiting untill we see the doc on the 6th to talk to him about it.
    I hope if anything that this blog gives other people hope that it can happen to them. I will post weekly.. I hope everyone had a nice holiday and has a safe New Year!!
